This was June 2020, roughly a month after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police. If Floyd’s death was a rallying call, my country—Trinidad and Tobago, a former British colony—heard it. I’d attended one of these protests, a knee resting in the damp grass opposite the U.S. Embassy. We kept our indignation to a low simmer. We wore masks and stood three feet away from each other. The police officers present kept a respectful, bemused distance.
